Article Synopsis
- A study examined the effectiveness of various assistive techniques in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including conventional instruments, computer-assisted systems, patient-specific instruments, and robotic systems, through a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
- The analysis, which included 112 trials and nearly 15,000 TKAs, found that robotic systems (RAS) were the most accurate for mechanical alignment, while computer-assisted systems (CAS) performed best for pain relief, and patient-specific instruments (PSI) had the shortest operation time.
- Ultimately, while RAS showed the best alignment accuracy, there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes or complications among the four techniques.
Objectives: To observe histological and inflammatory characteristics of epidural fat (EF) adjacent to the ossification area in patients with ossification of the thoracic ligament flavum (TOLF) and provide a preliminary research basis for investigating the impact of the EF on OLF.
Methods: Samples of EF and autologous subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) from TOLF patients ( = 26) and non-TOLF patients ( = 23) were harvested during posterior thoracic spine surgery. Adipocyte size and fibrosis were measured by histology.
Introduction: Predicting the postoperative neurological function of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients is generally based on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns, but this approach is not completely satisfactory. This study utilized radiomics, which produced advanced objective and quantitative indicators, and machine learning to develop, validate, test, and compare models for predicting the postoperative prognosis of CSM.
Materials And Methods: In total, 151 CSM patients undergoing surgical treatment and preoperative MRI was retrospectively collected and divided into good/poor outcome groups based on postoperative modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) scores.
